Description
Circe, the daughter of the Greek sun god Helios, is born into the house of the Titans but possesses weak powers and a mortal-like speech that set her apart from her divine family. When she discovers her talent for witchcraft and herb-lore, the Titans view her as a threat, leading to her banishment to a deserted island. In exile, she encounters and transforms various mythological figures, including sailors, the hero Odysseus, and the monster Scylla, ultimately claiming her identity as a powerful witch in her own right.
